Today, crypto analyst Ali Martinez shared data showing that BTC is currently consolidating within an ascending triangle pattern, laying the foundation for a potential 15% move.
Bitcoin prepares for new highs
In a post shared on X, Martinez disclosed that the flagship cryptocurrency seems to be consolidating within a triangular pattern, displaying a favorable outlook for the coming days.
When Bitcoin forms a triangle on the daily timeframe, it is often considered that such correction establishments land in an upside breakout. With this formation, Bitcoin is preparing a way for a likely 15% jump, according to Martinez. With BTC price currently hovering at $82,841, a 15% rise suggests that its value is likely to surge to the $95,267 level soon.
Bitcoin price updates
Despite the ongoing downtrend, Bitcoin has demonstrated its resilience, continues trading above the $80,000 mark. Today, its price currently stands at $82,841, after seeing daily and weekly rises of 0.4% and 0.1% respectively. This price stability is bolstered by renewed investor enthusiasm, especially from whales (institutions).
BTC’s latest price is fuelled by an interplay of multiple factors. The major catalyst is the growing interest from institutions to accumulate Bitcoin at market dip. Regardless of current price drops driven by panicking short-term holders, especially retail investors, long-term buyers (institutions) continue to pump in significant liquidity in the market, further boosting BTC’s value.
Secondly, Bitcoin’s current movement is in the formation of a symmetrical triangle pattern, signifying a possibility for a major price momentum on either side, an upside or a downturn.
However, Open Interest (IO) gives a new outlook for the asset. Today, the IO on the Bitcoin market has risen by 2.36% over yesterday, currently trading at $23.7 billion, according to Coinalyze data. This increase suggests that derivatives traders are showing heightened confidence in the market. They are creating new positions in the market, hoping for potential price hikes. This enthusiasm not only fuels demand for the asset but also supports the wider crypto market, with alternative cryptocurrencies experiencing relatively similar price stability.
These on-chain indicators and the technical pattern point out that Bitcoin is sustaining a robust bullish support with a likelihood of breaking out to major resistance levels. However, market analysis shows that there might be short-term consolidations as the market keeps evaluating the viability of its recovery.
Key resistance levels to look for include $85,308 and $86,467. If the asset lacks the strength to reach these levels, then it may drop its value to support levels at 82,367 and $80,585.
